Domestic defence enterprises win NATO tenders for the first time

A new stage in interaction with the Alliance

Alona Hetmanchuk, Head of the Mission of Ukraine to NATO, stated that relations between Ukraine and the North Atlantic Alliance are gradually moving to a new level. One of the practical steps in this direction was the implementation of a special interaction tool, which opens up new market opportunities for the domestic sector.

A mechanism that provided market access

The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) created a separate mechanism — the Partnership for Security Cooperation Support. Thanks to this decision, Ukrainian manufacturers have obtained the official legal and technical opportunity to participate in the Alliance's official procurement.

First wins in tenders

Two Ukrainian defence companies have already utilised the provided opportunities and won NATO defence tenders. This marked the first instance where domestic enterprises were officially recognised as winners of such procurements. Alona Hetmanchuk did not disclose the details of the concluded agreements or the names of the winning companies.
